October 7th: A BIG Guest!

The Southeast PA Chesterton Society is thrilled to announce a special event in place of our normal meeting for October. On Saturday, October 7th at 7:00 PM at Ivy Hall we are honored to welcome the man himself, G.K. Chesterton!

RSVP for "An Evening with GKC" below!

Of course, this is actually G.K. Chesterton as portrayed on the EWTN series The Apostle of Common Sense, hosted by American Chesterton Society President Dale Ahlquist.

Dr. John "Chuck" Chalberg is the actor who portrays GKC. Here is a bit more about Dr. Chalberg from his website, History on Stage:

Dr. John "Chuck" Chalberg delights many audiences throughout the United States with his historical impersonations of American and British characters, such as President Theodore Roosevelt and G.K. Chesterton.

​His characterizations of Theodore Roosevelt and H.L. Mencken began as an extension of his teaching of American History at Normandale Community College in Bloomington, MN. In recent years he has added G.K. Chesterton, George Orwell, Branch Rickey, and most recently Bobby Jones, while reviving a past character, Huey Long.

Last summer, he also revived his characterization of Patrick Henry for a chautauqua in AK.

​Chuck is attempting to bring to life several significant figures of the past. He has performed for state chautauquas all over the country, as well as for many colleges and business groups. All of his characters (except Chesterton) take unrehearsed questions from their audiences.
